Shooting Directions
Work with a partner, you will shoot their photo and they will shoot yours. You will edit the photo of you.
MODEL: Pose as a superhero for a poster of your new upcoming movie. Consider any props you may need to bring (cape, glasses, something related to your super power, etc.)
PHOTOGRAPHER: Remember to consider all camera settings to ensure good lighting and focus. Make sure all body parts are in frame and subject is not standing on grass.
Complete your cutout and save as a .PSD (Photoshop Document).
Editing Directions
